This afternoon, I was in the bathroom in Cassie's backyard when I noticed a pigeon staring at me. Of all the creatures that have stared at me while in the bathroom, that was the least disturbing.
What we think happened was the bird was hanging out on a tree, but fell and injured its wing and therefore unable to fly away. It was also unable to fly away from the cat chasing in, both animals of which ran into Cassie's hut while we were chatting. The pigeon then hid under the bed.
A makeshift cage has been fashioned to protect the bird from the cat. But don't think to highly of us PCVs - we're only caging the bird so we can eat it ourselves after fattening it up a bit...
Call us cruel, but sometimes we really crave meat and protein.
